Compression and support stockings
A
doctor can prescribe medical stockings for all vein diseases of
the leg. Where risk factors increase the danger of disease, it is
recommended that compression stockings be worn prophylactically.
They are prescribed if treatment of a venous disease in not possible,
either temporarily or permanently, and if a worsening of the condition
is to be prevented. They are also prescribed if the doctor wants
to maintain the results of treatment, after sclerosis or a varicose
vein operation or after a deep-vein thrombosis. Medical stockings
are specially constructed. Their pressure configuration is such
that the greatest pressure is exerted on the ankle region. It is
there that oedemas and ulcers generally occur. The compression decreases
gradually in the direction of the knee and the thigh. Depending
on the severity of the condition, your doctor may choose to use
a mild, moderate, strong or especially strong degree of compression.
The grading of medical stockings combined with a customized degree
of compression possible for each patient ensures optimum results.
The performance of the muscle pump is increased, the lumen of the
veins is narrowed so that the flow-rate of the venous blood is accelerated
and the venous valves are made to function again. Oedemas are prevented,
the danger of thrombosis reduced and further complications prevented.
Our certified fitter will fill your doctors prescription, takes
leg measurements, and select the correct stockings for your needs.

and supports are typically used when recovering from an injury,
or as a preventative measure against the recurrence of injury. We
